La GmbH \u00e8 la forma pi\u00f9 comune di tutte le nuove societ\u00e0 costituite in Germania e pu\u00f2 essere paragonata alla S\u00e0rl francese, alla SL spagnola o alla ben nota Private Limited nel Regno Unito. La maggior parte degli investitori stranieri decide di costituire una GmbH per avere un ufficio rappresentativo in Europa, che consente loro di avviare e sviluppare le proprie attivit\u00e0 commerciali sia in Germania che nel resto dell\u2019Europa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German GmbH is successfully established by having the Deed of Formation documents as well as the Articles of Association signed by the director in front of an official German notary. The GmbH can also be represented by further natural persons. Those representatives are required to hold power of attorney, which has to be notarized by the German notary as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complete the process of incorporation, the proposed GmbH must be registered with the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry. For registration, the managing director has to sign the application in front of the German notary. The notary certifies the signatures, informs the managing directors about their duties, and finally files the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon registration in the commercial register, the GmbH becomes a legal entity and gains full legal capacity. Furthermore, a newly-incorporated GmbH must also be registered at the local trade office. The GmbH can already start its business without this last registration, however, the limitation of liability of the shareholders will only become effective when the registration is filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-callout-type-tip\" data-hs-callout-type=\"tip\">\n<div>\n<h2><strong>HOW WE CAN HELP YOU<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Consultinghouse pu\u00f2 supportare le aziende in espansione nel processo di costituzione<\/li>\n<li>Registrazione presso il registro delle imprese e presso l'ufficio commerciale locale<\/li>\n<li>Facilitiamo i rapporti con le autorit\u00e0 tedesche<\/li>\n<li>Vi aiutiamo a rispettare i requisiti applicabili alle vostre attivit\u00e0 in Germania<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gesellschaft mit beschr\u00e4nkter Haftung (GmbH)&nbsp;<br><em>(Company with limited liability)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most widespread company form. Its shareholders are not personally responsible for the company&#8217;s debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One person is sufficient to set up a GmbH and to be its shareholder. A notarial agreement must be drawn up between the shareholders and the company being set up. The company legally comes into existence only when it is entered into the Register of Companies (Handelsregister). The name of the GmbH must derive either from the purpose of the enterprise or the names of the shareholders and must contain the abbreviation &#8220;GmbH&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shares in a GmbH are not embodied in a certificate and cannot be quoted on the stock exchange. However, they may be transferred through properly notarized documents. A GmbH must appoint at least one managing director (Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer), who may also be a shareholder of the company. He is the only person entitled to represent the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per costituire una GmbH \u00e8 richiesto un capitale sociale minimo di 25.000 EUR (versato su un conto bancario aziendale o versato in natura). Per facilitare la costituzione, al momento della registrazione \u00e8 sufficiente che la met\u00e0 del capitale minimo (12.500 EUR) sia effettivamente e verificabilmente versato. Secondo la normativa pi\u00f9 recente, \u00e8 possibile costituire una cosiddetta mini-GmbH. Secondo questa forma di investimento, l\u2019investitore non deve pagare l\u2019intero importo di 25.000 EUR, ma la mini-GmbH dovr\u00e0 trattenere una parte dei propri profitti fino a quando non sar\u00e0 raggiunto il minimo di capitale sociale di 25.000 EUR. Se la mini-GmbH ha un solo azionista, quest\u2019ultimo \u00e8 responsabile di qualsiasi importo non versato del minimo capitale sociale e deve costituire una garanzia per esso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview: German limited (GmbH)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Responsabilit\u00e0<\/td><td>La responsabilit\u00e0 dell\u2019azionista \u00e8 limitata alla sua quota di capitale.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Capitale statutario<\/td><td>Euro&nbsp;12,500.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Organizzazioni aziendali<\/td><td>Consiglio di amministrazione, consiglio di vigilanza, assemblea degli azionisti<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stati Finanziari<\/td><td>Obbligatorio, se sono soddisfatte 2 delle seguenti condizioni:<br>Numero di dipendenti &gt; 50<br>Turnover &gt;&nbsp;Euro 6,875,000.00<br>Balance sheet total &gt;&nbsp;Euro 3,438,000.00&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Imposizione delle societ\u00e0<\/td><td>EBIT \u2013 Imposta sul commercio sul profitto del 12% \u2013 13%<br>= Base imponibile per l\u2019imposta sul reddito delle societ\u00e0&nbsp;<br>\u2013 Imposta sul reddito delle societ\u00e0 15%<br>= Reddito dopo le imposte sul reddito<br><br>L\u2019imposta di ritenuta sul dividendo del 25%, ridotta a 0% \u2013 15% con i trattati fiscali bilaterali, pu\u00f2 essere dello 0% all\u2019interno della Comunit\u00e0 Europea.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/it\/contatto\/#contact-form\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Copy of Tech Website in Blue Purple White Gradients Style (2)\" class=\"hs-image-align-none\" height=\"387\" style=\"height: auto; width: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png\" width=\"688\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 344w, https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 688w, https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 1032w, https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 1376w, https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 1720w, https:\/\/www.consultinghouse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Copy20of20Tech20Website20in20Blue20Purple20White20Gradients20Style202.png 2064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to Establish a GmbH  (company with limited liability)?
